Wedding photographer Andy Griffiths, from Rainford, Merseyside, has teamed up with friends from the wedding industry to give one couple the chance to win a dream wedding at Mottram Hall in Cheshire, while raising money for the NHS.

Working with suppliers from across the North West, Andy launched the competition to win a dream wedding, worth £30k, which will include food and drink, rings, dresses for the bridal party, entertainment for the whole day, a mini-moon and more.

The campaign, which has been named TieTheKnot4NHS, is simply asking couples to make a £25 donation to the NHS, with all proceeds being donated directly to the health service.

Frontline workers such as doctors and nurses are exempt for making a donation and can enter the competition for free.

Andy said: "The impact that Coronavirus has had on everyone has been overwhelming and I really wanted to do something to help by putting a smile on people’s faces and giving them something to look forward to.

“As a result of the health crisis, all my wedding work was cancelled so I had time on my hands to plan something really special – a fundraiser for the NHS.

"I came up with the idea and then contacted all the amazing suppliers I work with and between us have been able to put together this offer of a dream wedding.”

The wedding will be scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 23, 2021. Nominations and donations must be received by 30th May and the winner will be announced 31st May.
